Hi all, my last 10 matches in tier 6 BBs (Mostly been playing Dunkerque) have all resulted in me being bottom tier in a tier 8 match -_-

What tactics can I deploy to have some meger effect on the outcome of the battle:? My BB AP bounces and shatters on tier 8 broadside BB's and my dispersion makes for some frustrating shots that all end up missing.

Is there anyway I can raise my damage output:? Firing HE at destroyers sometimes I would get decent hits, other times I would get a full pen HE shell on them but only do 720 damage O_o. I can hold my own at tier 5-7 games, but tier 8's just outclass me so bad and can pen any part of my ship -_-

I aren't normally very salty, but while playing tier 6 in prep for ranked it's been very frustrating going against mostly tier 8 teams :/ I only feel like a liability to them team and target practice :,( Also the first time I've intentionally quit a match with my ship still afloat.

I'd suggest you go watch eurobeat's video for the dunkirk, spamming HE at BBs while using W and S also works because of your high fire chance and shell speed, but simply put the dunkek just dont really preform at t8 and there isnt much you can do about it

Mostly been playing the Dunkerque. It's been a surprisingly fun ship, for my first 20 battles I had a 75% win rate in it :3 Then came the hords of tier 8 ships -_-

While I can deal with most tier 6 and some tier 7 ships very well, I just completely melt vs North C's even when I stay at 16-18kms (but then all my shells shatter or miss).

Thanks!

Pick your target. Don't fight a T8 that is focused on you. Look for those guys that show they broadside and rekt their citadels. If it comes down to a one on one with T8, angle and jiggle while either firing HE in hopes of fire or AP if you can aim well.

I hunt ships other than tier 8s in my Dunkerque, or go for the smaller ships, HE is the best, but you can also sneak citadels in & I often try being a bait ship, trying to get enemy ships to chase me, so I can drag them away from their objectives, & bring them closer to my fleet, because they think I'm a big juicy target, an easy kill...

It's the cheapest T6 premium. That's what you get for buying Chinese built products!

You have lower gun caliber, weakest armor and lowest BB damage. But you have good reload and good fire chance with good speed. Hide your weaknesses, fortify your strengths. And running away is always a great tactic. Even French navy knew it. See all the secondaries on her stern.
